    Installings gives me an error message


    Whenever I try to install an app I get the follow error message. It just apps.

    "Operation did not complete successfuly because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software"

    Would disabling windows defender fix this? I just use malwarebytes anyway. Don't like these active antivirus programs.

    What app? Where did you get it from. Upload it to virustotal and see if it really does have a virus or potentially unwanted software.

    Are you using just Malwarebytes free? I hope you at least have Windows Security (Defender) enabled.
